Where is the battery on a Eagle Milano 150-t scooter?

I just got an Eagle Milano 150-t scooter and have no idea how to open the seat or where the battery is. I am guessing the battery is under the seat and that the seat has some type of electrical release which may be an issue as the battery is dead. Is there a remote/secondary release method?

Possible Answer: Will, I don't know if the Eagle Milano is like my Buddy, but my seat releases when I turn my key to the left in the ignition while pushing it in. My battery, however, is located under the floorboard.

I own an Eagle Milano so here's the answer. Turn your key counterclockwise in the ignition until you hear the seat click, lift it from the back once you've done that. You can also turn it clockwise about 30 degrees and the same thing will happen. It's made like that so you can open the seat when the engine is running. The battery is under the floorboard. First you must lift up the rubber mat to see the hatch held with two screws. The battery is under there.

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.

Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.

One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.
